Jacqueline van de Geer & Annie Baillargeon presented a performance about sisterhood that celebrates the joy and brilliance of their six-month residency.
As creative sisters, they revealed the pleasure of creating together around the artifices and clichés of femininity imposed by our society.
In honor of feminist performance practices, the title of their creation refers to Carolee Schneemann’s famous 1964 performance Meat Joy.
The duo took their inspiration of Meat Joy’s movement cycles as well as from their own creative process at the PHI residency in which during six moth an exhibition and several performative events were created, solo and as a duo.
As part of the PHI Montréal residency, in partnership with the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ), the two artists of the 2023-2024 cohort, Jacqueline van de Geer (Montréal) and Annie Baillargeon (Québec), collaborated with the PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art to develop and present two public engagement projects:
Becoming Sparkling by Jacqueline van de Geer and Cosmologie of Mutations by Annie Baillargeon.
Meet Joy and Glittering Gloss was presented as the closing event of the duo exhibition.
